While the cat's away, the mice will...
Well, maybe not. The mice will eat dinners made with food that the cat doesn't enjoy so much, but playing? Not so much ( Read more... ) -
Productive today
I had plans for today, and was able to complete almost all of them, which should make me happy. However, the one(s) that I did not accomplish were pretty disappointing ( Read more... ) -
On the Road Again
Heading down to Indiana tomorrow to celebrate the youngest brother's graduation from High School. We missed the actual graduation due to a business trip to LA. So the weekend after getting back from LA, we'll be driving 4+ hours to get to my parents' house. It should be fun, since I'll be seeing family that I haven't seen since Thanksgiving and ( Read more... ) -
Music
What is it about music? It can lift your spirits, make you mellow, help release energy by making you dance around, empathize when you're angry....
I just love it.
And I'm incredibly envious of the people who put together soundtracks for movies. Specifically Stardust and Wall-E. Absolutely amazing stuff. I don't know how they do it. But every ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts (and prayers, if you like) needed

As if there was something else to be annoyed by other than incessant calling
That's right. I'm talking about the charity organizations that call almost every other day of the week, looking for money for whatever disease or organization that they'd like to send money to. I commend them. I really do. And I have to tell you the truth, by saying that I have a really hard time turning them down when they're from children's ( Read more... ) -
Hoping for a better weekend, once again
So this week has been difficult. Rumors running rampant about layoffs, re-organizations, etc. At this point, I only knew one person that got laid off this week. That's not to say that I won't know more once they're through, as the email that got forwarded to me did not include number of people or timeline. Needless to say, it's been a pretty ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride.
Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.
Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I admit it, I was pulled in
So I got to work and went through my normal routine - get laptop started on one side of the desk , start the desktop up on the other side; start work email on laptop, start personal email on desktop; start work's version of instant messaging program on laptop, start AIM on desktop, etc.
And when AIM Started, the typical webpage started right ( Read more... )
